We got back home on April 22. Things were the same; things were different. I actually appreciated how Susan got into the house and immediately covered up her nude body. This set a tone, "Hey, we had a great time this weekend but we are back to reality now." I liked her taking that stand. I realized once again how well grounded she was.
She went online to subscribe, with my input, to a food preparation service. We did our research and decided to go with Blue Apron. We had to prepare all the sauces although all the ingredients were included in the box and there was a lot of prep work required. Some people who commented on their website viewed that as a negative, but we saw how that was going to allow us to get more involved in the preparation.
You may think this was a cop out, but Susan's strongest skills didn't involving getting involved in elaborate food preparation. As far as her promise to me to help me learn cooking skills was concerned, this was the wading pool rather than diving into the deep end of the pool.
I haven't told you much about Susan. She is a voice-over actor, and, if I may say so, a very successful one. I'm sure you've heard her work. This allows her largely to control her own schedule, largely to work at home (she has a nice home studio) and to pursue a career that she loves.
We actually spent time Sunday evening talking and not buried in our computer and cell phones. And we didn't just talk about Blanke Schande College. We discovered we had a lot more than that to talk about.
I told Susan I had decided to go to college. If it was BSC, that would be great, but if I could only get into Iowa State or Des Moines Community College, that would be alright as long as it would allow me to further my yet unwritten life plan. It was too late to get in now, but that was set up on the goals page for 17 months out. We worked backward and filled in college research and application deadlines and enhancing my resume so I would be an attractive candidate. This was the first time I had actually set any concrete goals.
When it came time to go to bed, there seemed to be no question I would go to my bedroom and Susan and Dad to theirs. We showered, I have my own bathroom and Susan came in to tuck me in, something she hasn't done in quite awhile. I was wearing a snoopneck sleep tee with lace-trimmed cheeky panties. Susan was wearing a beautiful silk Emerald green nightshirt. We commented on the events of the last few hours without revisiting our trip home. When we were through, she said goodnight and gave me a motherly kiss.
Susan actually prepared waffles the next morning, I didn't participate in the preparation, though. I asked Susan how she felt about my sharing what we did this weekend with my friend Kaley. If i told Kaley, her parents were going to know. They weren't my parents' closest friends, but it was a close friendship that they might not want to disturb with knowledge of what we all did.
"Sara, do me a favor and hold off. Let's have the whole family over Friday and we can hit them all with it at once. I'm going to make up with the Dicksons and invite them over for supper Wednesday."
I was practically bursting dying to tell Kaley what had happened but I had made Susan a promise. I must have had the silliest grin on my face all day at school.
After school we prepared a meal of broiled ground round steaks, broccoli and wild rice and mushrooms. Susan showed me knife and other prep skills, but she by her own admission was no Julia Child and we could learn a lot together.
Tuesday night, actually about 5:00 AM Wednesday morning, I received an incoming skype message. I leave my computer on in my room, and it was Stacy. "I'm sorry to disturb you so early, but I'm just getting home from The Absolute and this was about my only free time."
"No, this is great. I'm glad to hear from you. Stand up, let me take a look at you. You look great!"
"I'm exhausted. I see you have on you night clothes."
"Yes, we kinda went back to life as usually and didn't just continue with the complete BSC thing."
I explained how we had kinda agreed to keep the nudity of the past weekend a special thing. I brought her up to date and told her how I had applied at McDonald's and Wendy's. We exchanged some more small talk and expressed our mutual affections and ended the call.
Wednesday the Dicksons came over at about 6:30. "I wasn't sure how you were going to be dressed", Mr. Dickson observed sarcastically. Susan smiled and got right into it. This was new insight for the neighbors about their neighbors but they didn't act shocked or outraged.
The meal was finished and Susan was satisfied that her diplomatic mission had been successful. The only question was how fast and how far the gossip was going to make it through the neighborhood. Susan did not extract any promise from them to keep this information confidential.
Friday the Greene's, Kaley and her parents, showed up about 7:00. Presumably that had no idea what they were going to hear. Dad set up his laptop and said, "Let me tell you how our weekend went." She started a slideshow that quickly turned into a peep show. Ted and Alice didn't know how to react, but Kaley started laughing uncontrollably. She sobered up when the pictures of all of us at the TSA station appeared.
Dad had been providing a narrative all along to give the disjointed pictures some context. "So what do you think?"
"Alice and I are going to have to process this information. We're pretty good friends, we're both members of the country club and the Rotary and Kaley and Sara are best friends. This, this - I won't say changes things - but it certainly puts things in a new light."
Kaley broke the ice, "Mom can I stay here tonight?"
Ted said, "You haven't been invited and you haven't brought any clothes."
Alice piped up with a laughing, "Apparently she doesn't need any!"
Susan said, "Of course she is welcome. She can wear some of Sara's clother until she gets back home tomorrow."
It was agreed and at the end of the evening Ted and Alice returned home.
"Mrs. Sussman, can I sleep in the nude? I actually do it a lot at home."
"So little Kaley is a closet nudist", exclaimed Dad.
"I don't think I'm supposed to tell you this, but Mom and Dad usually sleep in the nude, too. If they have to go downstairs to get some water, they don't always throw on a bathrobe." Realizing that she had probably revealed too much, she quickly added, "But they never do that when Sara sleeps over."
Sensing an opening, Susan pounced on it. "How would you feel if we all slept in the nude?" I was surprised she included Dad in that since the rules of BSC didn't require it or even really allow it.
"I'd enjoy that. It would make me feel even more a part of your family." She glanced at me and smiled.
We stayed downstair watching TV and finally we all started going upstains to our bedrooms. I have a queen bed in my bedroom. We have a guest room with twin beds. That's available whenever any of my friends sleep over. When we were in elementary school Kaley used to sleep in my bed but when she reached puberty she asked if she could sleep in the guest room. I guess going throught normal body changes made her self conscious. That's where she always slept, until tonight.
She followed me into my room, I was surprised but not alarmed. Neither of us said a word. She started undressing and I just lay on the bed enjoying the show. When she was completely naked she joined me on top of the sheets and said, "What are you waiting for?"
I smiled and started to disrobe. Just about the time I removed my panties, Susan knocked and asked, "Can I come in?" We had nothing to hide. Susan had set the dress code earlier and we were just complying.
"Sure, come in."
Susan stood before us in her innocent nakedness. "Well, I see you two are ready for bed."
"Maybe", Kaley replied coquettishly.
Susan kiss me goodnight and Kaley asked, "Don't I get a goodnight kiss?"
"Of course." Susan kissed her, "Goodnight", and left.
Kaley asked me, "How long have you been shaving your pussy?" She had a light tuft down there that matched her blonde hair. I told her about Susan and me shaving together last Saturday at BSC.
She said, "Wow, that's really sexy. I could never see my mother and me doing anything like that." Kaley and I slipped under the covers. There were several rounds of giggling but nothing more. Eventually we went to sleep, but Kaley crept over to my side of the bed and we spooned.
The next morning we dressed, Kaley in some of my clothes which were a little tight, but not uncomfortable for her. We went downstairs and Susan was waiting to prepare us all omeletts, "Well, lets tackle this one. I hope you won't be disappointed in the result."
I joined Susan in the preparation. Together we finished. They were messy but delicious. My first real sense of accomplishment in the kitchen. My first real sense of accomplishment anywhere in a long time.
I called Alice Greene to arrange to take Kaley home. While I was talking Kaley asked, "Can I please stay here tonight?" It was agreed that we would take her home Sunday.
We had a pool party that afternoon. Since Spring was upon us, Dad had had the pool guy come earlier in the week to get it ready. Susan and I fixed hamburgers, more elaborate than we normally do. We were all dressed in our swim suits. Finally, Kaley stood up, "Well, let's get this party off the ground." She dropped her bikini bottoms first and then her top. She jumped into the pool. When she came out, we are all still dressed and she came over and started wrestling with me to pull off my bikini. I offered token resistance but soon I too was nude. Susan and Dad remained clothed.
When the party broke up, I went up to my room to get some clothes. Kaley came with
me. "Watching you dress is almost as sexy as watching you undress." I thought it was a strange thing to say. She made no effort to get dressed.
We went downstairs to join Susan and Dad in the TV room. Kaley stayed nude all evening, the only one of us who was naked. "I think I'm going to enjoy spending time over here this Summer."
When we went upstairs to my bedroom, Kaley jumped into bed. She was already dressed in her night clothes. I put on a nightshirt and crawled into bed.
Kaley asked me, "Aren't you going to sleep nude? I thought that was our dress code for the weekend."
"I'm good. I still think being naked should be reserved for special times."
We talked for awhile, silly girl talk, and then we went to sleep, my clothed body in Kaley's naked arms.
Stacy skyped me again about 5:00 in the morning. The computer was positioned so that she couldn't help but seeing a close up of me in my night clothes and a naked Kaley in my bed. "Who's your friend?" she casually asked. I got up and moved to my desk.
I explained and she apologetically added, "Oh, I'm sorry to disturb you. I'll sign off."
"No, no, don't go. You weren't disturbing anything."
Stacy laughed, "Why not? She's very attractive." Kaley had gotten out of bed and was standing behind me. She draped her arms over my shoulders. I didn't want Kaley to know too much about Stacy's and my history.
When the conversation ended, Kaley asked me, "Did she think we were queering each other?"
